Ramesh,
Unless you know something I don't I believe you to be wrong about this.
I am shooting this month with a Canon EOS 1Ds; the opened RAW file
size is around 31.5Mb in 8-bit and 63Mb in 16-bit modes. My two year
old Nikon D1x produces Tiff files camera file sizes of about 17.5 Mb. I
haven't really looked at the opened size of the 10Mp NEF files possible
with Nikon Capture 3.5.
Leaf Valeo just introduced a 22Mp back for medium format cameras.
File sizes are going up not down, as resolution gets higher.
And that is before you start adding correction layers in Photoshop and
then archiving the work with seperate layers intact. (Doing this makes
it easier to go back and either modify what you did to target the iamge
for a new output device or method without having to start from scratch
or to eliminate a specific correction completely.)
